Somalia

WFP has distributed dates to more than 150,000 vulnerable people in Mogadishu, Somalia, to mark the beginning of the Muslim holy month of Ramadan. The dates – generously donated by the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia – were distributed alongside the hot meals given to the urban poor in Mogadishu, and also to breastfeeding and pregnant women being treated for malnutrition in WFP’s nutrition programme in the Somali capital.
